i had to buy a bra. i didn't want to...but i had to. can we discuss how a single piece of fabric and wire and fasteners can cost SIXTY DOLLARS??? yes we can. and this is why we go the bargain route.

the problem with the bargain route is that you usually buy them where there is no secret. and there are men operating the cash register.

sometimes, it's funny. like when it's a 16 year old boy who has probably never seen a bra. surprise! you just got your mitts on the mother load, kiddo.

sometimes, it's not funny. like today. when it is a nice attractive young man who just wants to check out your home good items, your discounted tennis shoes and maybe your michael kors bag. instead he gets the pleasure of a unmentionable sized nude colored, there is nothing sexy about it, giant bra.

as i stood in line i said "please god, please god let me get the girl worker" but the automated "register 3, please" voice was as if god spoke directly to me saying "you are being punished." i don't know what i was being punished for..but it must have been something really bad. or maybe the man was being punished. either way we both were uncomfortable as he asked if i wanted a bag. i said no, but then instantly regretted it, having to gently take my undergarment out of his sweaty little hands.
